FIBER Festival 2012

Introduction

The second edition of FIBER festival took place March 24th 2012 at ‘De Verdieping’, the industrial basement of the renowned club venue TrouwAmsterdam. More than 1000 visitors experienced the work of over 30 participating artists from The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Turkey, Ukraine and other countries. The programme included artist talks, AV-performances, workshops about visual software, a club night with live visuals. At FIBER we bring together those who share and enact the in-between of sound, image and network interaction.

This year’s theme ‘Sharing Signals; enacting the in-between’ reflected the festival’s function as a platform to collect artistic views and explore a networked reality. Openly sharing ideas and crossing the borders of one’s discipline are becoming important parts of the artistic practice, hence the power of shared knowledge, crowd-funding and crowdsourcing to realise new projects. The creative approach of the artist combined with the application of new media are important forces.
